I was watching Kang Xi Lai le on YouTube when I saw this:

I thought it was hilarious. (:

Just some things I need to moan about

2008-09-16T06:54:00.002+08:00

Been a while since anyone posted anything, and I'm afraid this one isnt going to be a happy one.

Been on A&E these past 2 weeks and it's been a really rough time. I feel so out of my depth all the time, as this is the first time we are doing A&E ever and we've not really been taught much about managing the VERY acute stuff. I mean, I think I'm ok on majors... you know, with the collapses and the heart attacks and the abdominal pains... It's the minors that really throw me off. Nobody's taught us anything about sprains and strains and dislocated fingers. Nobody's taught us about handling facial grazes and lacerations and foreign bodies in various bodily orifices. But the doctors just expect us to go and see these patients for the first time (and alone!) and know what to do.

I've made a couple of silly mistakes, and the comments and looks I've been getting have been most unforgiving. I feel so tired from this rotation. I'm doing bloody shifts at all kinds of ungodly hours and yet the department is so busy that nobody has time to teach (not their fault of course) and I dont have the chance to learn.

Also, it's amazing what one month of holiday can do to your knowledge as well... the stuff that I learnt so hard for the finals have all conveniently dissipated into thin air. Where did all my knowledge go? I feel so frustrated. I just want to be a competent and safe practitioner. Why does this seem so difficult?

Being on A and E has been emotionally draining too. Too many people who are too sick come through and it gets really really difficult. Take last Thursday for example... a man who had just killed his wife stabbed himself with a pair of scissors and was brought in by the police. When I saw him, he had those scissors pushed all the way down to the hilt, sticking out of his chest, and blood all over his face. Not a very pretty sight at all. And the department was immediately thrown into a frenzy as the trauma team, the police, the lung specialists and every other k-po doctor/nurse was trying to find out what happened/trying to save this dude. When he was finally transferred to another hospital to be taken to theatre, another man came in with a cardiac arrest.

My consultant was keen for us medical students to help out with the resuscitation, so he had us taking turns doing chest compressions whilst he tried to intubate and ventilate the guy and the other doctors loaded him up with dose after dose of adrenaline. However, they decided that all was not looking too good for the man and thus invited his family to come and see him (possibly for the last time 'alive') whilst we attempted to save his life. So there I was, pumping this man's heart with all my might as his family stood at the side looking on in shock and sorrow. I prayed for him as we did what we had to do, until the consultant asked us what time it was.

8.49pm. My consultant shut the man's eyes for the last time. We walked out of the cubicle. The family completely broke down in front of us. It was an awful, awful time. This was definitely a slice of the medicine pie that I can do without.

Anyway, I guess that's enough of my unloading. I'm sorry if you didnt understand a single word of what has been written (I have tried to make it as layman as possible), but I wanted to get things off my chest more than anything. I hope I've not upset anyone with any graphic details whatsoever.

Medicine is great in many ways, but it sucks big time when you dont know what to do, and when your patients die on you.

I pray that God will help me through the rest of this difficult difficult rotation. I'm not asking for excellence, just competence. PLEASE GOD!

p.s. JX, how did the test go? Feeling relieved now that it's over? Wish you all the best!!! (:

JA- when r u coming back?

2008-06-05T11:54:00.011+08:00

YES! JACINTH, when are you coming back? Let's have a F4 gathering before KS goes for her studies k?

Just came back from US-Canada trip about a week ago. It was nice, but I was anticipating more.. haha.. I was anticipating lots of shopping, which I didn't have much time for. It was a good thing too.. cos I didn't really SPEND until siao.

Anyway, I'm too lazy to write anything now.. so I'll just post some photos. Enjoy!

I thought, this kind of bus dun exist anymore. Haha, doesn't it remind u of sesame street school bus?? aww so cool. I wonder how it feels to sit in one cos Singapore doesn't have one!! what a pity! I think this was taken in ... Philadelphia?

Nice huh? haha McCain was there when I was at washington!! I don't know if he was there.. cos I didn't see him. Aw, I was hoping to see him though. haha... It would be good if Obama was there too!

Pretty! I was so lucky to have a hotel jus right in front of the falls, cos this rainbow only came out after I went back to my hotel room. How I wish I could stay there longer.. maybe 1 or 2 more days? It's one of my favourite places, together with Boston and Bar Harbor, Maine (yummy lobster at relatively cheap price =D).

CN tower! I was lying on the glass floor.. damn cool. haha The glass looks rather ... safe. Cos there were fat guys jumping on it... and it didn't break. So it must be quite safe? Anyway I'm still alive. Actually, when you're on the observatory deck of CN tower or blah blah blah.. the buildings all look so small that... they look all abt the same. The only diff to me is... if you can identify prominent landmarks.. and if you recognise what you're looking at. I don't .. so they all look abt the same. But it's quite cool, I managed to catch a plane landing..while on the observatory deck. Hahz..

Notre Dame! It feels smaller than the one in Paris and it's slightly different too. I somehow feel that they use more wood in construction than in Paris. If I'm not wrong, this is in Montreal. It's confusing when u only stay in a place for 1-2 days. Somehow, you dun remember when you see this or that.

TIME TO FEAST! haha this cost 22+ USD only! it's quite cheap and fresh! yum!

ok skip skip skip.. lets go to Boston.
I didn't take a lot of pictures in Boston. But it was a pretty place. I like it more than NYC.

Yeah nice weather! It's a pity we cant go up to the torch. It'll be amazing. Anyway I didn't like New York city for.. some reasons. Somehow I feel that if you're rich and powerful, you probably can have a good life in NYC. Dun need to take the subway,... Oh dun take the lift at the subway station. It alwayz stink.

aw... the bull! haha... everyone's taking turns to take a photo of it. if only i can crop away all the rest of the ppl!...

okay, that's it. I'm too lazy to upload more. no more US trip for me.. until.. maybe another 10 years later? No money liao.

Yawn

2008-05-17T04:51:00.004+08:00

If I've gotta do anymore work I think I'm gonna collapse.

I HAVE NO LIFE LA.

It almost 10pm on a Friday evening and I'm still in the hospital library... And there's just me and this other man here... *shudders*

Anyway, our dearest kahsuan is going away to the US of A!!!! How can liddat one? Means the 2 of us are never gonna be in the same country for exactly 10 years lor! Alamak! But oh well, it's to the all prestigous Johns Hopskins university so I guess that's a good excuse for leaving? Things in the US are probably gonna be much different from here in the UK but one thing I know for sure is that Kah Suan will grow up so so so much over the coming few years away from home. And maybe even get married there! Haha. Seeing as her boyfriend will be there with her. Lol.

OK, I should prolly stop talking abt KS cos she might whack me for writing so much crap. Anyway, Jing is now somewhere very near to me... somewhere in Europe... but still too far away from me to actually see her! But it's nice to know that me and my good friend are not seperated my 10 000 miles. Lol. JX, you got go anywhere post graduation??? I've not heard from you in ages by the way, what's happening to you? Have you got a job for next year? Or a place on a post-grad degree or something? Let me know what your plans are for the future! I'm interested to know.

Ok, I think I've just effectively treated this blog as a message-board. But heck, like I care like that... 1/5 of this blog belongs to me!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha.

Yikes, the man in the library has just left so I'm all by myself now. I better get on and finish my work so I can go HOME and SLEEEEPPPPP!!!!

See yas all later.

Love.

30th may is mdm tan's bday!

2008-05-11T01:01:00.000+08:00

2008-05-04T02:01:00.002+08:00

Who cannot make it?! Please spread the msg and RSVP!

2008-04-07T00:36:00.002+08:00

Hi guys!

Been really busy these few weeks. Not having enough sleep bcos of some shitty design 2 project - it was so bad that I had to work >24 hrs just to complete it.. and the thing is I didn't get to hand in on time. Was too tired on Thursday morning to continue working on it, that I decided to go back and sleep and accept the 1 day penalty.

Anyway, KS.. congrats on the outcome of ur application!... It's a tough decision, but I still think it's a great opportunity. Come to think of it, I regretted my decision for not taking up the Med course in Leicester. But it hurts to see your loved ones aging without u being ard...

Well, consider carefully.. girl~!

okay, shall stop blogging for the time being. Dun think it's a good idea to blog wateva I want here.. Just that.. I'm not at all excited abt the "challenges" that await me after graduation. HAIZ.

Sing a song to the birthday man

2008-04-02T08:51:00.004+08:00

The guy in yellow is celebrating his 23rd birthday today. Everyone, please go and wish him happy birthday ok? Lol.

p.s. other people dont be jealous that he gets mentioned and u all dont ok. It just happened that the 'birthday alarm' thing I had got seen by me before I deleted it from my inbox forever. Lol.

And to KX: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 嗨，真是光阴似箭啊。。。想当初你还是个在KAP作灯笼的灯笼小子　（当时十六岁吧！），还是个见到 KahSuan 会口吃的男生！现在都长大了，渐渐蜕变成一个很有自信的未来医生！加油喔！

Songyu's coming back home.

2008-03-22T17:09:00.002+08:00

Comments and dates u guys r free please.. in the tagboard.

Something to liven this blog up

2008-03-20T07:57:00.006+08:00

It's been a really really long time since anybody posted anything on this blog. I wonder if anyone even comes to this blog anymore??? I do admit that I still check it religiously though... despite my lack of want to post. But seeing as I am the queen of procrastination and there is really quite alot of other constructive tasks that require my attention at the mo, I thought it necessary for me to come and drop a note.

There's just hasn't been too many exciting things happening here. What shall I post about? Mm, I guess I shan't bore you lot with the nitty gritty about how stressful things have been with revision and the likes... how about some pictures from... Christmas??

I was going over to spend Christmas with a family from my church in Liverpool... I was skint, so I made a batch of truffles and gave it to them as a gift (of course, the little boys in the family got toys from me too!) Here is a picture of what I made... everything, including the box but excluding the ribbon, was made with my bare hands.)

This cute little boy is Ben. One of the 3 adorable kids in the family

People always wonder what a traditional British Christmas dinner looks like... so here it is! Essential parts of the meal: Turkey, roast potatoes, sprouts, pigs in blankets and bread sauce.

The cute boys tucking into their meal

And this is what Christmas should be like, EVERYYEAR, whether you're little or grown up... Christmas with lots and lots of people, and lots and lots of presents!!!

Random photo, but I just love the Christmas lights that people put up during the festive season. So pretty!!

Ok, enough about Christmas... on to New year...

This year, I went to Conventry to visit our CT rep during the pre-CNY period... Conventry is a much smaller place than I imagined it to be... not very much goes on there (well, from what I saw in the 2 days I was there anyway), and it's very quiet... The roads in the city (or town??) are narrow, winding and bumpy (esp the ones through Warwick uni campus), and the bus drivers aren't very good at driving. I ended up being VERY motion sick during a large part of my time there. We'd get on the bus to get somewhere, and then I'd end up feeling nauseous for the next hour or so. And just as I was about to get better and start being a little more cheery and chatty, we get on the bus again and the whole process repeats. That day, we took the bus FOUR FLIPPIN TIMES. Can you imagine the agony that I was in???? I felt so sorry towards KW cos I really didn't mean to be such a non-enthused visitor.

Ok, so other than the buses, most of the place was quite nice. We went to Kenilworth and spent a VERY LONG TIME having afternoon tea. Haha... on the contrary, the main attraction, i.e. Kenilworth castle, took only about 15 minutes of our time there.

Beautiful blue sky and green grass and good company... en route to the cafe in Kenilworth

"Time for tea"-- where we spent most of the day

Kenilworth castle ruins in the background

It was really good chatting to KW again tho. Haha, I remember that the first thing I told him when I met him at the train station was that I would not speak in English! And so it was! I spent the weekend relishing in good old (rusty) Mandarin (KW's was rustier than mine, haha)... We caught up and cracked politically incorrect jokes just like in the good ol' days, which was nice.

We wanted to go for karaoke (can u believe it? they have karaoke in Conventry!) in the evening, which I was very excited about cos I've not found a karaoke place throughout my time in the UK... or any karaoke kakis for that matter (considering that most of my friends are non-Asian). So I was really looking forward to it, only to be disappointed that those rooms needed to be booked in advance. And so, what do you think we did? We went back to KW's place and played games. And you know what, I'm glad we did cos I've not laughed so much in a very very long time. It was completely manic that evening cos KW and I have no image to maintain in front of each other and so we said and did the most extraordinarily dumb things. For example, we played this electric shock game: each player needs to hold on to a metal handle-like thing, and then press a button on the handle once the light on the main machine changed from red to green. The last person to press the button gets an electric shock! We were SO scared LAH. Ok, I admit I was more scared... and so I ended up laughing and crying as KW tried to trick me into playing the game (I really didnt want to). We had a video of it... but KW hasn't sent it to me as promised YET! ARGH. We played good ol' uno too, which was ace. But, the man kept forcing me to listen to his not-very-nice-to-listen music... (think: Lots of Fann Wong, Sun Yanzi, and even Sun HO??? His whole playlist was comprised of Singaporean singers only... ok, I think he's gonna kill me for saying this) :( We ended up arguing over who had the better music taste.

He was a gentleman that day, and let me take his bed while he slept on an air mattress in his study. (: I was very pleased... esp since the boiler in his house had broken down and it was FREEEEEEEEEEEZZZING cold.

The next day, I went to church with his housemate Yen (who had been really friendly throughout the weekend) before heading back to Lancaster. Here's a parting shot...

OK, so that sums up my mini-adventure to the South. And I think I've just about procrastinated enough as I am starting to feel guilt swell up within me. I shall leave you all at that. Take care peeps!

Love.

p.s. KW, are u gonna send me the video or not???

School!

2008-01-24T20:28:00.001+08:00

For most of us, this is the last semester of school. For those of us, who are not going for further studies, this could be the end of school life. When I say, end of school life, it doesn't mean that we stopped learning, it's just that we stop paying lecturers lot of money and we stop skipping lectures. Well, not that I had skipped lots of lectures.

Strangely, for the entire 3 years plus, most of us (at least it's true for me, maybe not so for others) dreaded school, hate exam (I still don't love exams), eager to leave the lecture theatre ASAP, etc etc... at these "awful" 3 years, we suddenly LOVE schooling, we don't wish to go out and work... we ENJOY the flexibility of school life. Not having to wake up at 6am everyday, dread your feet to work, trying to understand the MEANING of work and looking forward to 5pm (if you're lucky) or maybe just the end of work (which could end at 10pm etc). And becos we are so-called Professionals, we don't receive overtime pay for working. It's probably ENJOYMENT if you appreciate your job, and it's TORTURE if you don't understand what's all this shit you're going thru'.

In short, I'm enjoying whatever is left of my undergraduate years! even though much of the stuff that I do, isn't exactly the most exciting stuff unless .......

Anyway, ENOUGH of all these. So, I'm in my last semester. I'm hoping to graduate in May. Wear that square thing, take photo and hopefully, I'm off for holidays. Unlike most people, I should be going with my parents! haha I actually don't mind that... AND YES, MISS LIM JW, I'm going for grad trip with my parents! haha, anything wrong with that?

Where? I don't know. I don't even know if I'm going. It's jus a plan. After that, I'll be studying hard for one month... (if you're interested to know what, just msn me. it's a secret! haha) and then I shld be starting work in July. WISH me luck k? I need all the luck I can get.

Anyway, I'm taking some module about international politics economy. And you know what, it's rather sad that at THIS AGE, I know absolutely nothing about all these stuff. All the politics, economics, finance, etc... Somemore, I'm not so good in all these. But it's interesting. Unlike most, if not ALL, engineering modules dont actually require you to think in depth. ALL the shit about learning how to analyse in ENGINEERING modules, it's probably true to a certain extent. I honestly believe that ARTS students analyse issues more than we do and think MORE than we do. Well, engineering students are probably more versed with analysing NUMBERS and data, which is good also lar. So, if I'm a JC student all over again, I probably will be quite keen to choose ARTS instead of engineering. Somehow, I feel like I have to use more of my small peanut brain to think.

Ah, all these things about science and maths. I remember not considering ARTS, BIZ at all before entering undergraduate. And I think for some reasons, I believed that there's not much career opportunities and stuff like that... I must be stupid to think that way.

Anyway, I met one of my old friends yesterday! It's pleasant to see him again! But honestly, I didn't know what to talk to him when I met him, cos we haven't seen or talk to each other for... 7 or 8 years?! Sometimes, it's scary when you think of it. Whoa, so many years. Are we really old? It's not the age or number of years that scares me. Rather, it's the thought that so many years have past without me knowing. It's as though, I've done nothing useful or meaningful these few years. It's almost like, I'm wasting my life?! that's scary. Does it feel like, you're just a zombie .. going about doing your routine stuff.. wake up, brush teeth, eat, go school, talk rubbish, go out, go home, rest and relax, read, and then sleep. Occassionally, you travel around the world, explore new places, indulge in sinful stuff, and stuff like that. But that's so NOT interesting. HAHA... how many of us actually get to spend 30 years with chimpanzee to study and understand their behaviour? Those people are (OR she is) really really interested in what she's doing. Probably not for money...

blah blah blah... I'm lost in my thoughts... therefore, I'm lost for words. Hence, THE END.

First post of 2008!

2008-01-03T02:00:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged. (: JX and I seem to take it in turns writing a few posts in a row. Lol. (: I think we should change the blog name to thefantastictwo.blogspot.com. Hahaha. Well well, so it's another year and with the start of the new term, we are officially J7. It is so freakin scary la! We are now even older than what Daniel was when we were J1. lol. Anyway, just hoping and praying that this new year will be so so so much better than the last and just completely packed full with blessings. Take care ok, everybody?

By the way, to the other F3: did you all receive my lovely Christmas cards?? (: Jing, I received your parcel today and my housemate was so jealous that I had post all the way from Japan! Hahaha. I loved the stuff inside.. did you really put it together yourself?

Wonder how all your Christmases have been ladies and gentlemen... no more foam parties in town I hope? haha... I spent a good time with a family from church in Liverpool... it was as traditionally British as it could get... and cos they had 3 under-5s in the house, it was even more exciting with tonnes and tonnes of toys for presents. (: I've not uploaded any photos onto my computer yet, but when I get round to doing it I'll post a few pics of the lovely boys.

Hope everyone is doing well, studying hard, enjoying life. Take care guys and girls. You are missed.

Love,

Lee hom's wife-- yes, I've fallen in love with him all over again. LOL. pardon me.

p.s. JX: hope your fyp writeup is finished!
p.p.s. KS: How's your wj treating u?? (:

New Year Eve

2007-12-31T04:40:00.000+08:00

yes! it's new year eve now!!!!! and... i'm waiting for my file to upload .. cant risk to lose all my precious crap.

ah. I'm tired.. so forgive me if i'm talking nonsense.

Went for my cousin's birthday party jus now. wahah, totally didn't expect to eat indian food today. Cos initially, we planned to eat at the chinese restaurant at Raffles Town, but it was full house. BTW i heard the food there is great. Is it? But i believe that the price there isnt cheap cos it looks quite nice...

Then we thot .. okay, lets go to eat seafood at... long house.. or is it long beach? AIYAH, i dunno la.. wateva it is.. but because we have.. abt 13 ppl including the baby, ..... and there's a pretty long Q, we probably have to wait at least an hour. So forget it, lets go eat at Samy's curry.

It's probably my second time eating traditional indian food. hm.. shld be traditional rite? I'm not too sure. First time was.. Muthu's curry.

Anyway, THE BABY IS SO CUTE! although she's quite slow in learning how to crawl, laugh, talk baby talk, and walk. FYI, she hasnt master any of the above mentioned yet and she's 16 months already! Aw, come on, she's jus a baby. Why pressure her to learn this within how many months and so on!!!!!! but then again, everyone seems to expect her to perform all these at her current age. BUT THEN AGAIN, it's probably good that she starts learning all these before she's older... in case she gets fatter and fatter, by then... her legs might not have the strength to support her weight. RIGHT? dunno...

it's time to sleep now!

Countdown to 2008

2007-12-29T01:41:00.000+08:00

3 more days to 2008! Very fast isn't it? Considering that I haven't been doing much this year. I tried to reflect what are the things I've learnt or done this year... and honestly, I couldn't think of anything much. First half of the year was dedicated to industrial attachment. Second half of the year, I was busy with school work, FYP and ... trying to avoid lab as much as possible. So effectively, I didn't seem to learn much. Like... what "valuable" skills have I picked up? haiz, I'm wasting my youth.. when I still have it... or do I not?

Anyway, I'm in the midst of typing a INTRODUCTION for my FYP. I'm still left with ABstract and conclusion. Ah save me from all these. What am I doing here?!

Since 2008 is coming, I thought it's a good idea to start thinking about my life. Not that I didn't think about it beforehand... just that, I'm going to graduate soon. In May 2008. So I better start planning HOW I WANT MY CAREER LIFE to be... and WHAT IT SHOULD BE. Nothing fanciful.. but I want to continue my studies. Just that I don't want to continue studying chemical engineering. -.-

okay, happy new year everyone

IgG vs BSA

2007-12-24T01:37:00.000+08:00

ah! I only have 9+ more days before I have to hand in my FYP report. And I'm not even 1/4 done yet! *panic*

Worst of all, I have some results that I don't even have any idea on how to account for!!!! Can anyone tell me what's the difference between IgG and BSA? .. Structural difference? Difference in surface immobilization? damn. I'm not even sure if I should put the results in... cos apparently, I made a mistake during immobilization. wahah, but I just thought it will be cool to add in results from my faulty experiment. wahah. I really do think that the so-called faulty result is the NICEST of all cos the shapes are so well defined~ haha so please help me if you know anything about IgG and BSA.

I am so proud of myself.. cos I'm doing the analysis without much help from the PhD student. Not that I don't want her help, but I think she hates me ..so I think she doesn't really want to help me. Besides, I think we do have some communication problem. It's either she doesn't understand me or I don't understand her mandarin. Sadly, this occurs ~80% of the time we are communicating. So right now, we reduced communication to the minimal. Maybe it's time I brush up on my Mandarin? I know it's bad, but is it really THAT bad?

hmph. I don't believe I can't do it without her help. JiaYou! and MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

asshole

2007-12-10T20:25:00.000+08:00

argh, I'm totally pissed off. Having to deal with these shit ppl for an entire year, really spoils my 2007.

They should know that they are shitty. And if they know, why don't they try to make an effort to be a better person? I guess it's asking the evil why they are evil.. and asking them to be good instead of evil.

ASSHOLE

Keeping this blog alive

2007-11-24T07:31:00.000+08:00

It seems F4 is just getting poorer and poorer at blogging these days.

I reckon is because all 4 of us have to take our final exams at the end of this year and everyone's stressing!

It's ridiculous for me anyway... I think I've heard the word FINALS mentioned at least 100 times in the 3 months since term started. IT'S SO UNBELIEVABLY STRESSFUL!

And that stupid Jing ah! In Japan for so long liao still haven't get in contact with me yet!! I wait for you until my heart pain!

I don't really know what else to say to be honest... Life's basically been revolving around hospital and sleep for me. Oh, and getting bouts of anger and frustration towards 我在医院里见习的 partner, who is the biggest 大便脸 in the world. 她真的很考验我的耐心吔！而且 extremely 自以为了不起，很爱使令别人! Like, 她很会找各种理由与借口让自己得到可贵的临床经验 that only she or I can go (i.e. only 1 student allowed) so I miss out. 不但如此，她也非常擅长将一些很难搞定的病人推给我处理... like that day we were in GP and this patient came in with a fungal nail infection... 我们俩都不知道要怎么诊断这个病人，因此她便立即告诉负责导助我们的家庭医生说 "OK, Jacinth will see him." 很烦哩！因为她总是把这种话说得像是法律一样. I hate it when she bosses me around but I am completely incapable of 发ing 我的脾气，因为我很依赖她的车子to get me to placements outside Lancaster! IT SUCKS! 我好生气！ ARHGHHHHH.　她是个自私自利的家伙，人见人厌的社会渣种。And she's so flippin' cynical lah. 好的东西都可以被她说成天下第一可悲的事. And oh my word 她在早上八点钟所能飙出的脏话 is just ridiculous. I'm trying so hard to be patient and loving towards her but seriously right, wa buay tahan liao! 尤其是见识到她那颗完全没有爱心的铁石心肠... 她一点都不把老人家当人看待，只认为他们是社会的包袱。像她这样的医生，你会害怕吗？

On a lighter note, I just realised that there is another 英俊小生 in my year and in Lancaster. Here is a photo for you 让你的眼睛吃冰淇淋...

中间那个穿分红色衬衫的

OK, better stop here. Sorry I had to mix so much English with Chinese in this post. Just worried that people who shouldn't read this should accidentally bump into this page.

Hello from England!

Man, it's been almost a week already and I still can't believe that I'm back in England. I've packed up all my stuff now, and moved to the beautiful city of Lancaster! The place is small and really pretty, very much like one of those small towns that Enid Blyton so vividly describes in her story books. I've still got half of all my barang in Liverpool though... hopefully one of my kind friends will be able to help me drive them up this weekend.

So... new city, new friends, new beginning. I almost feel like a fresher again. Except this time, I'm not peeing in my pants worried about getting lost in the city (my sense of direction has improved!! Yes, very much so from the days when I still get lost at the Suntec city-citylink mall area). I'm trying to shake off the jet-lag too, and attempting to start being consistent from the first day of term.

Oh, before I forget, here is my new address:

30 West Street

Lancaster
LA1 4UJ

So if you're feeling kind and friendly, please keep some post coming. I get so jealous of my housemates cos they always seem to be having mail. As for me, I've not even received so much as a bank statement! Please be nice to me ok? Lol.

Anyway, here are the photos that we took during the 2 gatherings earlier on this month:

F3B4 and Jialin! I MISSED THEM ALL SO MUCH!

Having dinner at NYDC, Wheelock place

(to-be) Dr Zhang is a shy man. He hates the paparazzi.

F2!

F3- Jiaxin 翻白眼！哈哈。

Ze girls

In typical 78 style, we took almost an hour to decide to move on to McCafe after dinner, and then to Toastbox! (p.s. the kaya toast there is AMAZIN')

RomeoX-- hey, how's the bowling going these days anyway?

Skinny but fierce! But I like. haha.

Everyone of these very-important-people in my life have managed to stay (almost) the same. Insane, hilarious and a whole bunch of fun. May we have many many many more such years of good ol' friendship to come!

The not-so-successful class outing 2 weeks later where all barr a few committed ones came late. Blame it on the rain. But it was good to meet up with everyone again. Even some people whom we never thought we'd meet again in a long time! (:

Alrighty ho, that marks the end of this long post. Looking at all these photos makes me miss home already! I <3>

Love.

Back from Hong Kong

2007-08-06T13:56:00.000+08:00

Hello boys and girls, I'm back!!! ... and has already met up with Jacinth, Kahsuan and boyfren (Weijie).

Let me file a brief report on the Quality Control test we had yesterday.

Name: Poh Wei Jie
Gender: Male

Okay.. I've decided not to blog too much about our QC test yesterday. Those interested in knowing the results... well, I think Jacinth and I both gave a pass! so that's good enuff to know rite?

haha...ok end of story.

----Hong Kong-----

I was enrolled in Chinese University of Hong Kong for a month. Studying Chinese medicine and cantonese. It's a pretty nice school... if... it hasn't have slopes, hills, mountains, hot weather, humid like shit weather. Everyday, for me to go out... i have to take a lift down from my flat on level 7, go down to ground floor.. walk to the mountain.. and climb 7 floors worth of steep steps.. and then climb up a slope that is almost 30deg inclined. When I reach CCH Hostel, I have to take a lift up 10 floor to united college, then walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus.. which comes at 20 min interval?

This makes me appreciate shuttle bus A1, A2, C, D, and B...(for those who duno, these are NUS shuttle)...

okay enough of grumbling,... Hong Kong was nice.. cultures pretty similar i guess.. I mean.. i dun feel the culture shock when I just reached there. But I know some of the Westerners were unable to accept the food.. the environment etc.

Yeah, I had my fair share of shopping, eating and WALKING long distance... like from TST MTR to Mongkok KCR? Well.. i was shopping too.. and it took me abt 5-6 hours to walk from TST to Mongkok. I was mad!

So... what's the best I had?

Dim Sum - Maxim Palace at Mongkok. It was super crowded, me and my frens have to wait for at least an hour to get in. But it was a Sunday ... so maybe it's super crowded.

Egg Tarts - I love macau port. egg tarts. Otherwise, for the normal egg tarts, Central's one is one of the better tasting ones. It's called Tai Cheong bakery. Well, HK egg tarts are generally quite good. It's best to buy from those small bakeries that dun look very nice in appearance..well, what i meant is.. kinda run down. Dun be deceived by their appearances, their egg tarts are superb and it's fresh!

Road Side shopping - Basically, they are almost everywhere. Whether you like them anot, its another thing. These are the cheap bargains... really very cheap. Most tourists would prefer to go to Ladies Market.. but.. I recommend ... the street market at the cross road of Bute Street and Fa Yuen Street. Although they dun have as much stuff as ladies Market, I find the stuff there cheaper and not so crowded.

Super High End shopping - okay, this is easy. Just go to the malls that are introduced in guide books. For example, IFC mall, Pacific Place, Harbour City, ANY Lane Crawford, etc etc

Reasonable shopping (mid to high end) - Langham Place, New Town Plaza @ Shatin, SOGO, Causeway Bay (full of shopping areas...), H&M (aww, my favourite!), Festival Walk @ Kownloon Tong,

Best transportation to Hong Kong Island - FERRY.. cos it's damn cheap.. compared to MTR.

Food - erh.. i still prefer singapore food. BUT their roasted stuff are not bad. The skins are alwayz crispy. However, I realise... they dun serve alot of veggies so you mus order your own plate of veggie. Buy your own fruits from street market (cross road of Bute street and fa yuen street).

People - they speak cantonese ... and most can understand mandarin and speak a little. Some can speak english too.... so if you dun speak or understand cantonese, try mandarin, if not, try english.. if still cannot, take a map from the airport.. so that if you're lost, the map's in english! =P

well, streets in HK is.... SUPER crowded. ESPECIALLY in mongkok. it's madness... I didn't have any nasty experience of pickpocket.. so I guess it's relatively safe.well... jus be extra careful!

okay.. enuff of my review.. i dun wanna type anymore. BYEBYE

er hem

2007-07-31T00:45:00.000+08:00

This is probably really unexciting news compared to the previous post but here's a quick shoutout to everyone to say that I am back! Been back since Friday evening and have been spending almost all my time with the family... oh, and with KS who happened to remember my arrival date and so had the privilege of prying me away from my parents for an afternoon (I've become seriously clingy LA!). Anyway, I think it's about time to meet up with people! Please meet up with me to catch up some time! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper, whatever! (: Wanna see you all and find out what's the latest gossip. Lol.

JX, when will you be back by the way?

Gonna watch Harry Potter tomorrow evening with the wulinmengzhu and her newfound boyfriend! Lol... So weird!

See you all soon!

Love.

Jing and I are going to clean the streets of singapore in 1 hr time..

.......

well,... to be honest, the very pretty girl is meeting me to help me choose FYP projects. So pretty and nice hor?

ok sayonara ... otherwise i'll be murdered for being late!

You know what a country's favourite game is when...

2007-05-24T06:00:00.000+08:00

... university libraries close early so that both staff and students alike can go home and watch the game.

... students mugging hard in the library all get up and start leaving by the time the clock strikes 7 so that they can get to the nearest pub in time for the kickoff at 7.45pm.

... you see men hang their heads in disappointment and shame on the bus home after their team has lost the game.

After 3 years of being in this country, it still never fails to amaze me how the love for football runs in the blood of so many British people. I had to walk into town to get the bus home after the game (was at a friend's place to watch it), and boy was it kinda daunting. There was literally a FLOOD of people in Liverpool red, many of whom were singing at the top of their lungs "you'll never walk alone~" and "ste gerrad gerrad~" (to the tune of que sera sera)... It was fun, yet kinda scary... I don't know how I can describe it. It's like, you totally feel UNITED with these people cos you support the Reds and are disappointed too... yet you feel so FREAKED OUT that these drunk people are gonna get mad and get into a fight because we lost.

Sucks that we lost. I was really hoping to see the champion's league cup paraded around town on the bus tour. Sigh~ if only Stevie G's team had managed to get it back...

p.s. The flippin' 2nd goal by AC Milan was INFURIATING! :(

Right, enough of football and being pumped up by all the adrenaline. Time to get back to studying. Wish me all the best! I guess it's good we lost after all, at least there won't be cars honking away through the night like it did when we won the Champion's league 2 years ago. CONCENTRATE ON WORK!

Surprise!!!!

2007-05-14T23:28:00.000+08:00

our crazy life

2007-04-21T15:13:00.000+08:00

Hey babes!

ALL THE BEST FOR your exams!!! As far as I know, most of you would be finishing.. soon... maybe 9 more days?

anyway, i realise.. my tuition kid likes WUZUN too!.. aha I found things like "wuzun rox!" on her assessment books lar! Then I realise something...

When we are in secondary school, most girls would have pictures of their idols in their files and... wallets too? I'm not sure.. but file is confirmed have one ...

Then when you're in JC, your love for your idol will also upgrade to a higher standard. That is, you start to fantasize abt him being your boyfrens, husbands.. or ONE of your MANY INTERNATIONAL boyfrens (u know who u are!). OR... you'll grab your poor girl/boy frens' hands whenever ur supposedly bf or husband appears on screen...

Otherwise, you would see him as your eye candy and everytime someone plays his music, your expression would somehow show that you're in love. OR... instead of having celebrity eye candies and bf, you have eye candies from school. Then your classmates will pretend to take picture of you... but actually, she's zooming in on your eye candy who was jus sitting behind u..(sounds familiar huh?)

haha,
dun u just miss the crazy days??
---------------------------------------------------

On a more serious note, it's April already! can you believe it?! two more months and i'm back to school again! I cant believe it .. but I suddenly realise... almost everyone who's in my company is either a dean lister... or some super smart ppl. Gosh... and I didn't realise it until now cos, they dun sound or look like nerds to me? (but then again, wj isn't nerd too haha and he's a dean lister)

FYP starts in July but I'm heading for Hong Kong in late June... and coming back in beginning of August. It's a one month exchange programme. I hope nothing screws up my exchange again cos I've already paid the fees. I'm not sure if it's a good choice anyway, cos I wouldn't be able to start my FYP on time... Just hope that I wun die of exhaustion during the sem.

Ja: when would u be coming back? heard you're going to aust for one month rite?

Btw, I heard the guys are going to france rite? wahah,... if im not wrong, our timing is abt the same.. hah..

okay that's all... all the best to u all!

2007-04-18T23:47:00.000+08:00

after so much preparation..

after forcing myself to memorize 400+ drug names, classes, mechanisms, side effects...

All I can say is,

Part A: Pure memorizing. At least for this part I can safely say I got about 31 marks out of 35 for sure. Thanks to the 2 days of intensive cramming sessions I had with Andrea and Champ... and thanks to Champ's interesting way of memorizing stuff. Made us laugh till our sides split... but who knows! It actually came in useful in the exam. Completed this part in less than 30 minutes.

Part B: Pure memorizing. But also application. Choose 5 put of 6 questions. Only for 2 of the 5 I can say for sure I am really very confident. The other 3, I can only say I got about half the marks for each maybe... hopefully. It wasn't easy. And there was just too much memory work involved.

Spent hell lot of time on Part B... about an hour and a half... choosing the questions and squeezing my brain dry trying to think of what to include and what I missed out. Stupid gesture. Left with just 30 minutes for the last part, Part C, essay question.

Part C: Essay question. Application. And consolidation of all the topics. Andrea told me the day before he might come out with something that links every single topic together and make us write an essay. I laughed it off and said maybe he will just give some questions on the lectures that were linked, like the heart and circulatory system lectures, and the depression lecture. And also maybe the endocrine lecture, since he kept emphasizing that it was important. Actually, I thought he might make us write an essay about dopamine since it affects a lot of organs.

BUT WHO KNOWS.... this guy is MORE SADISTIC THAN THAT.

For biology students or med students.. u will know how I felt when I saw the question..

"A hypothetical drug is administered intravenously to a laboratory rat in an experiment. Drug A.... exerts dose-dependent stimulatory muscarinic actions on all relevant tissues and organs, including the brain..... Describe the specific tissue/organ responses that are expected from Drug A's actions, based on your knowledge in pharmacology of the autonomic nervous system as well as the various organ/tissue systems. For EACH of the tissue and organ effects induced by drug A, suggest another drug (and the drug class it belongs to) that can antagonize the observed muscarinic responses, i.e. physiological antagonism of drug A."

So you think that's all... that part's fine. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that.. coz loads of drug names and classes and all just started flooding into my brain. My 15 marks was safe.

And then I saw the next sentence to the question.... and cursed out loud, "妈的..."

"For drugs that can counter the effects of drug A, muscarinic antagonists, adrenergic agonists and antagonists are NOT accepted here."

All the drug names and classes went into the recycling bin of my harddisk. Every single one that I could think of was either a muscarinic antagonist, an adrenergic agonist or antagonist. Bye bye 15 marks.

Hope I got the 10 marks for the second part at least. Glad I went thru it with Andrea and Champ the day before.

Really grateful for my study buddies this semester. They were really encouraging and were a great help to my revision. The teamwork was synergistic. Teaching each other better ways to work things out and studying... heh studying in school was really much more enjoyable than suffering alone at home. At least I have study buddies to do crazy things together with. And thanks Jimmy NONO for giving a very last minute good luck before pharm... though it didn't really work... hehe.. and thanks for my friends for being very accomodating and letting me whine and whine to them while I was mugging for this very disgusting pharm paper.

Year 2s, be warned. Pharmaco ain't as easy as it appears!

YAY! I can FINALLY post something here again!

2007-04-17T05:53:00.000+08:00

After weeks of not being able to sign into freakin' blogger, I've finally figured out how to again! (: Oh, happiness is what I feel. Nothing much to say except that things are starting to get busy again (easter hols just ended yesterday) and I really need to buck up for the exams. 为我加油吧！

Oh yar, and FINALLY that LJW has found her conscience to send me an email... which totally made my day! And then we skyped and talked for like an hour plus cos we were both trying to procrastinate... it was great chatting to her again cos I can 变回 the 神经婆 that I am with her... and we cracked so many old jokes... (it's weird cos we've been cracking the same old ones for 5 and a half years liao but I still find them funny)... but I was SO SAD to hear that she may be in Japan when I get back (and JX may be away too!), so I won't get to see her/them until something stupid like 2008! HOW NOW BROWN COW?! I so sad... boohoohoo... I want my F4 all together... Eh btw, JX and KS, when are the 2 of you going to send me an email too? LOL.

mm, this is random, but I am eating nuts and pineapple tarts leftover from CNY (dad sent them over) now... yum. Lucky thing they have not started to rot yet... lol.

OK, better not ramble on. Here's a picture to brighten up this post:

Me and a few other medics at a Christian Medics Conference in Swanwick, Derbyshire

WJ: HELLO! Heard that you are going to France for exchange? Lol... All is not too bad here. It's getting warmer-- which is good.

KX: Wonder if you still visit this blog you M4!! Man, so old. Anw, got your reply that day but didn't text back cos it's expensive. Hope you had a good birthday! (:

KS: Blogger finally allowed me to move and so now I can blog here again! YAY! Btw, you better think of how u are going to entertain me when I get back... cos Jing and JX won't be around! 剩我们俩相依为命！Lol!

DORAEMON IS YELLOW IN colour and it has ears...

wonder if u guys know.... Deborah from 02S72 committed suicide on Tuesday. According to jl, she jumped to her death from the 17th storey. Wake held at Payar Lebar Methodist Church. Service is Sat, which is tomorrow. Think she was suffering from depression. She was studying at NUS Bioengine before her death. Yup. Just a tribute. Though duno her well, but she was kinda high profile in HC. Was discussing with UY and another guy from our batch 02S7B in my fac juz now but no one knows the exact reason. Maybe its stress? Hmmmm

2007-03-21T15:56:00.000+08:00

tmd i'm friggin angry... really friggin angry sia.. and i cant even type in my own blog.. TMD!!

I have this project work for one of my courses.. and I'm working with this girl I previously had an unhappy experience with. But cos we couldnt find other grp members this time round so bobian grp with them again. Then I thot ok la.. should be better this time round.. so I never really protest.

Then recently, she started to chu pattern again lor. OMG. I'm friggin pissed off. Cos I know a lot of other pple in my fac... so sometimes when my friends tell me that they have already advanced very far in their project work I will be kinda stressed out and I will tell them we really need to start doing something soon. And so we split the work and drew lots and then we eached submitted our work to someone to compile, and this girl was in charge of presentation. So I thought ok lor.. presentation.. nothing much for her to do lor... even if she skive oso cant affect us much.

Then who knows, after seeing whatever stuff we got and compiled, she managed to persuade the other presenters that we don't need so many presenters so she can don't present. And then in return, she will compile the project proposal and hand it in. In essence, it is juz taking whatever the other grp members have done and copying and pasting it together only. Nothing much wan. So I also didn't think much of it, went to research whatever I can and sent the stuff to her. And then we also held this meeting where we discussed whatever we needed to add in and split the work again to go research further and send the info to the girl.

And then today, Shiqin, a fren from my clique told me that the girl sent her the proposal she's 'compiled' yesterday... which is basically a pile of CRAP! She didn't even bother to open all the attachments we sent her with all the info we've painstakingly researched and juz typed whatever little bit of info she heard during the meeting.. like one-liners with no reference. You know how much time each of us went to research for stuff to put into the proposal or not!!!! WAH my blood is boiling. And then she pushed the blame to us la! Say we never give her the references etc etc.. PUI LOR! I can open the attachment I sent her and point out where all the references are can! I even remembered very clearly on the day of the meeting I specially pointed out to her where all the references are can! WAH BIANG. I really damn fuckin angry sia. WHAT IS HER FRIGGIN PROBLEM LA!

And according to Shiqin, she purposely put in her msn nick "Totally Off" (I duno cos I'm seldom online these days). And when SQ went to ask her why she put that nick, she told her its cos she found that I was too demanding and I kept comparing us to other grps. TMD LOR! She went to 恶人先告状! And she even went to tell one of my best friends that can!

So to be fair la.. I asked everyone in my grp whether they really found me demanding.. no one thot so lor! I was juz trying to get the best results as a group, I wasn't pinpointing anyone lor! And so I'm not supposed to compare with other grps arh.. u know what.. we happen to have a slot for our presentation RIGHT AFTER one of the best presenters ever. Then what! Don't compare?! Do wrong oso never mind!? She's juz plain friggin SLACK CAN!? She juz doesn't want to do work can!

And she was also pissed off at me cos I kept asking if the presenters could try presenting once to juz the grp members, in case they get stage fright on the actual day. Then what?! Don't even try and run thru once meh!? They havent even tried presenting in front of such a huge crowd before can!? They are answerable to us lor! That was their only job can?! Juz presenting.. nothing else! Is it too much to ask of them?! To be fair, I also asked the other grp members what they thought.. in fact it was THEIR idea to let the presenters have a dry run lor.. juz that suay suay I was the one who reflected this idea to her. And its already damn obvious that she's really 对人不对事 can!? Cos of that long ago incident... when she was also part of my project grp. She didn't do her job oso lor. And I didn't even tell anyone abt it until I was really DAMN PISSED OFF then I only told like my 3 closest friends about her. And now she went to even tell MY BEST FRIEND how pissed off she was at me.. com'on.. the feeling is friggin mutual.

OMG I'm DAMN PISSED OFF CAN... HOW THICK IS HER SKIN!!! She's the one not doing her work lor! And in fact, it was SQ who got pissed off at her first. I didn't know abt all the above until SQ told me. So I wasn't like biased against her or what lor. Her behaviour is really disgusting can! And I thought she's changed for the better... omg... OMG!!! ARGH. I really feel like killing someone now. I'm DAMN ANGRY. But at least now its not juz me. The rest have also seen her true colours. SQ was purposely saying loudly in front of her how now WE have to do the compiling cos of the HORRIBLY SHODDY work she's done... she DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER to open the attachments of the work every single grp member has painstakingly done... I'm seriously damn pissed... then what the hell did we do the work for?! Its not like we asked her to write the proposal from scratch lor! She's juz COMPILING! Its like the easiest job already! And SHE CHOSE THAT JOB LOR! She could have stayed as a presenter... is she 自作主张 go create a new job for herself.. den dont do it properly..

WAH I'm really damn angry... ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Happy Valentines' Day!

2007-02-14T22:37:00.000+08:00

I love you all SO SO SO much.

Spot the familiar faces!

2007-02-12T19:24:00.000+08:00

I was watching the Project Superstar finals on You tube when I saw this:

Am I seeing things?

I miss F4

2007-01-24T08:11:00.000+08:00

Just so you all know that I'm still alive and kickin'. I've not written anything here in a while, been super duper crazily busy with my current neurology and psychiatry rotation. Interesting but VERY hard work! And I don't know why but it seems that all the slackers in medical school have all woken up and are working so scarily hard! I feel like I'm lagging behind! Everybody 为我加油吧！Seriously, I need at the oil I can get added. And JX, why the sudden interest in dead sea products huh? I've never heard of them here in the UK so I don't think we can get it here...

How's everything going back in rainy (still?) Singapore? In true British style, I'm gonna dedicate this one whole paragraph to talk about the weather here... last Thursday, this country was hit by a freaky wind spell! The moment I got out of the house, I was blown in every single direction possible... It was difficult even to walk in a straight line! It was really mad la... one of my friends was waiting at the traffic lights to cross the road... but the gale-force winds nearly forced her to 过马路 even though it wasn't safe to do so! Haha, personally I thought it was quite a fun experience (esp since it thankfully didn't rain)... but I heard that numerous people were killed as a result of the extreme weather conditions here... traffic lights got blown down, walls collapsed, cars overturned... and even trees were uprooted! So freaky! 还好我没事！

天气真的转凉了... it's freakin' freezing cold these days la! Makes me just wanna snuggle under the covers and not do any school work. I blame the weather for my tardiness!

Oh yar, CNY is fast approaching! Issit on the 18th of Feb? If you guys are going to Mrs Tan's house or Weijian's or whoever's and wanna msn feel free to inform me! I REALLY don't mind just sitting in front of the com watching u guys play mahjong... really... (yeah right, who am I kidding)

Evidence of your past cruelty towards me!

OK, I think I've spent enough time procrastinating and 'taking a break from my work.' I shall leave you all at that. F4, please can we have a massive skype conference call sometime in the near future please? I'm sorely missing u all. Okokokokok????

Love.

Dead Sea

I heard that dead sea products are damn good for ur skin. Don't know how true it is .. I want to try!!!! but why Singapore dun seem to sell them?!?!

NVM, there's alwayz online options! Who wants to buy dead sea products with me??

ANYWAY, does UK sell dead sea products??

Highlights of chalet ....(completed)

2007-01-02T23:15:00.000+08:00

okay, I'm so sorry guys but have been rather busy with... i don't know wat stuff... but for starters, let me start with the most interesting part of the chalet...

AND because, KS wants to see ...

Alright I'll add the rest another day.. and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU GUYS!!!

--------------------
NEW UPDATES

THE EARLY BIRDS!!!!! though we're not very early either. We're supposed to meet around 1pm (if I remembered correctly).. I thought Jing and I were already very late.. but we were wrong! WEIJIAN, the organiser, came later than us! and when we reached the MRT station, there wasn't ANYONE at all. hmm... it's 02s78, we should be glad they all make it on time for the BBQ =P

AT the supermarket, we were joined by MINGJIAN and XIAOKE whose help came in at the right time. Yup, then we proceed to our chalet with FOOD!!!

TVman of the day. Okay, it rained like mad on chalet day... so our next best entertainment was TELEVISION and VCDs. I think DICKY DONG must have not watched TV for agessssssss... cos he was practically glued to the TV from 12am onwards all the way to morning. And he only stopped watching cos the rest were complaining -> this.. I'm not too sure. I was sleeping already.

YUm! Delicious hot dogs!..... AS you can (not) see, it's dark and rainy that night... and the poor guys set up the pit several times. And after the fire was set up, it started to pour.. so we kind of give up using the rented pit -> the chalet should reimburse us hor?

WEN HANN our famous cook. OH, ignoe the blackened balls beside him. It's the creation of JING and YINGCI.

alright, it's not really their fault either. the first few batches were all like that. So Wenhann finally took over from us...and TATA!!!!

LOoks quite pretty rite?? haha with all the grids on the chicken.. PROUDLY done by WEN Hann

OF COURSE, not forgetting our VERY own.. UMBrella girl!
wahakaka...
There's more than one umbrella girl though...

AND of course, not forgetting the highlight of the chalet. Kenneth and his belle.. i forgot her name.. I only remembered she said we can call her "chewy" .. and if I remembered correctly, her name sounds to me like Yi Chew. Ask Kenneth if in doubt.

Finally, it's MJ time. The hardcore gamblers... though none of them parted with any money.. Oh! and I must mention, this is the first time Shiyan stayed over at the chalet. She came super late but was in time for MJ.

AND our class pretty girl - LIENA! She was having some church chalet nearby so she popped by to say hi!

Last but not least, the chalet picture taken in the morning... lots of ppl are not in the picture and lots of ppl are added to the class ....well, u can see for urself.... don't think i need to elaborate more..

THE END

2007!

2007-01-01T10:24:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year boys and girls.

May 2007 bring more smiles to ur faces.

2006-12-24T21:03:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I'm abit worried

2006-12-22T01:44:00.000+08:00

F4 seems to be falling apart! We all seem to be so busy we don't have time for each other anymore! boohoo... and nobody writes very much in this blog anymore. HAI!!!!!! Please bring back our HC days! I miss it so sorely.

p.s. Can somebody please write about what happened at the class chalet? Was it even fun without me around???

p.p.s. What's this I hear about Kenneth and his new girlfriend??

p.p.p.s. I suspect 我在英国的朋友have found this blog! yikes! Next time MUST code everything hor! Esp about all the interesting stories/people I tell u guys about. Don't 害我！

Did I mention that I'm a very nostalgic person?

LOok!!

2006-12-15T13:32:00.000+08:00

Who do we have here? Potential project superstar... and doctor in the making!!

yeah, i went to check out the website after ja mention about Diya. yeah... and I'm supporting her... cos she's from HC, she's yc's fren, she's my tuition fren (though i dun really know her), and I think she's good.

Yeah!!!!!

Lancaster

2006-12-15T06:41:00.000+08:00

I've been placed in Lancaster next year... which means I'll have to move out of Liverpool City and resettle into another town. It's not my first choice hospital (I really wanted to be placed in Chester-- at least it's nearer to Liverpool! *sigh*), but there's really nothing I can do about it- faculty won't take no shit from us. I went to visit Lancaster last month (before I handed in my hospital choices form) just to check out what it's like... and all I can say is that it looks like one of the small towns that Enid Blyton describes ever so vividly in her storybooks. There's not alot to do there... the town center's probably the size of one single street, there's probably one cinema available, one coffee house to chill out in, a few pubs scattered here and there... mm... let's just say that I hope the quietness of Lancaster will take away all distractions so I can work hard for my finals next year. I'm not too pissed off about being sent there really. But I'm not too excited either. Let's just pray and see how things go.

p.s. I saw a few famous Liverpool FC footballers in the hospital today! We were having teaching in one of the wards when these fit young men playing santa came along to distribute Christmas gifts and take photos with the kids (I'm doing my paediatrics rotation at the mo). A pity I don't watch very much football so I had no clue who those men were (I heard that one of the guys was called Zenden? Anybody knows who he is?). Apparently other footballers like Steven Gerrad were around too, but I seriously couldn't be bothered to go around the hospital star-gazing! Oh well... maybe i'll have better luck next time-- not that I believe in luck la.

Jacinth strikes again!

2006-12-15T06:40:00.000+08:00

It's been a while since I last posted anything on this blog. Applause to JX for still keeping it alive! Well, I HAVE been wanting to post something here, but the inertia's been way to great... and my life has been far too boring of late to warrant any updates...

Well well... so it's been a pretty tough decision-making period of my life this past month. First up was trying to decide on a topic for one of my critical thinking module that will need to be completed over the next few months... then it was having to choose the hospital that I wanted to be placed in next year... and now I really need to sit down and think hard about where I wanna go for my elective come June 2007. Too many deadlines= a very stressed Jacinth. And so, that was the perpetual state I was in for the past 4 weeks or so... and I'm only just recovering from the impact of it all.

Ooh, and do you know I egg-cited I was to find out that one particular Tan Diya from HCJC alum made it to the top 24 in project superstar 2?? Haha... I was really missing Singapore TV one fine day and thus went channel U website a-surfing (Ok, sad I know...), and boy was I shocked to see her name and face on the PSS2 page! Mmm.... I don't really know her personally at all, but that bit of my hwachong pride managed to sneak out and I feel happy for her! Youtube has also worked wonders in keeping me in the loop of what's happening in the competition. (: To be very honest, I think Diya's prolly one of the better singers amidst the numerous superstar wannabes.

Oh, and I managed to catch up with Yinky (you know, my SN cum 02S76 friend) while she was on exchange in King's college! Went down to London over one of the weekends and boy was it fun catching up with her OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE! It was absolutely fab just being able to indulge in non-stop incomprehensible singlish all over again!!! (: We also went to watch Les Miserables at the West end theatres-- possibly the BEST musical I've seen thus far (along with Miss Saigon). Haha... I was so so so pleased that I could finally satisfy my hunger for more musical watching... but it really is an expensive hobby!!

Queens theatre

Anyway, I could go on and on about London (well... I think it was the company that made it great... more so than the place really), but I won't cos that'll prolly bore you to death... So I'm going to talk about my birthday!

Well, the birthday kicked off with an amazing start. Mum rang me up that morning (as in very late the previous night) to wish me and even sang me a birthday song! Shortly after we hung up, dad called and sang me another birthday song! Then after I put down the phone, my housemates turned off the lights in my room and presented me with a beautiful candle-lit cake whilst serenading me with the "Happy Birthday" tune for the 3rd time in a row! It was really really awesome!

Cutting my birthday cake

My housemates (I'm still abit perturbed by the look on BJ's face)

The next morning and afternoon were spent entirely in hospital speaking to patients and getting taught... but I did get numerous texts throughout the course of the day-- all brimming with well wishes for my milestone 21st birthday. In the evening, a select few (mainly the people I'm closest to) were invited to join me at my birthday meal at a REALLY POSH Japanese restaurant called Sapporo Teppanyaki. I tell you that place is AMAZING. As the name reveals, it's a teppanyaki restaurant... so the chef cooks all your food in front of you. But the bit that makes this place different is that the chefs cook for and entertain you all at the same time. They juggled knives and forks, tossed eggs into the air, made me scream when one of them squirted fake chilli sauce on me, told you to open your mouth WIDE whilst making you catch bits of food that they tossed into it... As the birthday girl, a lot of the fun was directed at me and BOY did I love it. Everything was just so spontaneous, so funny, so exciting. The food was totally mouth-watering too, but I reckon that only 60% of the reason why it tasted so good was cos of what the chefs were able to cook up... the other 40% definitely stemmed from the happiness that you get from watching them do their thing. It was truly a night to remember.

At the restaurant

Vivocity

2006-12-09T00:29:00.000+08:00

ViVocity!... It's been opened for.. quite some time already but I haven't really had the chance to explore the whole space thoroughly cos it's freaking big. If I'm not wrong, it's about 1.5 times the size of a stadium.

The thing about Vivocity is.. there's a lot of really cool shops that you don't find them in Orchard. Even shops like Tangs have things that aren't in the orchard outlet. So, in a way, it's rather unique. But if you're looking more of streets wear/casual stuff, I think it's quite hard to find it over here or maybe more pricey??

Anyway, I took the opportunity to go up to the garden at Vivo.. Cool.. But it's really quite similar to the one in Esplanade.. jus that, we can see KS' "best" fren from the garden!!

Yup! That's the Merlion! hehe, guess if you're from 02s78, I don't need to explain why he's her "best" fren. If you're not from 02s78.. den too bad. hah... okay, I'm evil.. but I'm not that evil right ks?

That's Sentosa from far! Okay, my phone camera sux. But I was just entertaining myself... Oh by the way, the monorail is working already!!! or do you guys already know that? My news shld be quite outdated ba~.. considering... I haven't gone out for quite some time. Like, I didn't know Heeren changed abit, Wisma change quite abit.. and... I didn't know blah blah ...

This is taken from the top of Vivocity. Basically, it's jus a garden. And it's not yet completed. On the bright note, water looks bluish green rite? at least it looks nicer than those at ECP! Yuck! I wonder if it's real.
This is damn cool! When I saw it from the 2nd floor garden, I thought some mad freak come Vivo to do pull up. Gave me a fright. Then on closer look, it's actually a fake guy. wahaha.. i like this. When I went there, the place was slightly flooded with water. I don't know why... those kids happily go swim in the "pool". Yuck so gross... but I guess, you don't really care if it's clean or not when you're young. You just want to play. I wonder if the archi ppl purposedly build it in such a way that it traps rainwater....

Last but not least, it's the Holiday Season again!!!! Oh well... lets make do with a pseudo snowman in our hot singapore. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

Alright, that's all I have for vivo~!

Anaemia?

2006-12-06T23:33:00.000+08:00

Gosh, I nearly fail my medical checkup. Got low haemoglobin level .... The first thing the doctor said to me was.. "YOU are VERY lucky"

Then I Huh???

She continued by saying it's so low that I just miss the mark of being anaemia (I think).

Freak....

But she passed me on the medical examination... although she did put a side note on the paper I'm supposed to submit to the company.

FReak... Better pass. I dun want to stay in school one more sem...

Pencils

2006-12-02T01:30:00.000+08:00

I like this. I copied this from my Reason and Persuasion blog. hah.. It's supposed to say.. remember to bring your pencils for the exams!

Anyway, I think it's drawn by my lecturer. Cool rite? hah.. Anyway he got so many nice drawings that I enjoy looking at his notes (slides)...

Ah, what am I doing here.. when I cant finish studying?!?!

Happy Belated Birthday Ja!!

2006-11-30T14:08:00.000+08:00

Well!!!!! Happy belated birthday ja!!!! You're officially 21 now!~
So sorry for the late bday wish~... cos we just had our exams a few hours ago. ...
Anyway, so how did you celebrate??

ah...... 5 dec night is a happy day... haha.. i cant wait till this is over!
btw, if everything goes smoothly, ie I pass the medical checkup.. i'll be starting IA on the 26 Dec. Not exactly a thing to "WwHhhhhhhhhEEEEEEEee!!" about... cos it'll eat up about 2 weeks of my official holidays!! 2 weeks!!!!!!! I wonder if i'll end early too... But I'm much more fortunate than those who have to start work on 4 Dec!!! (wahaha) cos we still have exams on the 5th.

Oh well......

that's all for my boring life which is slightly more "exciting" when it's exams time..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exams!

2006-11-18T22:21:00.000+08:00

It's the time of the sem again.

Yuck... i cant wait til 5 dec is over. and then yay! no more school until next august! wahaha....

anyway, to reward myself.. for no apparent reasons, i got myself a new phone!!

Alright, it's an old model... and i got it cheap.. or rather.. relatively cheap during the singtel xmas fair! whee.. i'm loving my new phone..

but.. then.. it's time to mug again

Well Wishes

2006-10-26T22:42:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNETH!!!

See i so nice... overseas still remember ur birthday! (:

Hope you had a memorable 21st birthday...

so sad I couldn't join u all at ur party.

Kenneth's Party

2006-10-22T19:28:00.000+08:00

Happy belated birthday to Kenneth!

We almost couldn't believe ourselves when we saw his younger brother.. the one who went to the Esplanade opening with us. He's so tall and.. mature looking now. So different from the little kid we saw last time. It goes to show that.. we are OLD. *sob*

Anyway, WHERE are the rest?! tsk tsk tsk...

The mad guy TJL didn't go in the end. We're not too sure why either. But he smsed weijian and said... "I'm in hell 2"

He's really mad.

Oh by the way, the party ended at around 9 sharp.. and KJ joined us at 9 plus! that's why dun have his picture in the group photo. Here's the individual photo....

Here's the rest of it...
Oh I MUST MENTION this. Weijian drove all of us home!!! Even those staying at the other side of the island. hahah THANK YOU weijian!! haha...

UY and Kenneth... By the way, if you noticed... Kenneth changed into another set of clothing. Well,... cos he got thrown into the pool by another group of his friends....

Okay, last but not least, Kx! wah.. finally finish uploading all the photos... this thing is so slow lar... Okay... in case anyone wants the photos, pls msn me or anything... yeah..

Possibly the cutest man in this planet...

2006-10-22T06:33:00.000+08:00

It's time for celebration!

2006-10-21T16:35:00.000+08:00

It's Kenneth's 21st bday bash and I'm going later. Shall update you guys on it later. Anyway I hope yingci or jingwen will go later. That woman (jingwen) has been so busy that she says she'll only attend it if she can finish her Design I project... Cant blame her cos she's taking 6 core modules.

Anyway, haven't been updating much... I hope everything's fine! I don't really understand Ja's previous post though....

Oh, on a lighter note... DO YOU know what kenneth wants for birthday??

haha..

HE asked weijian to get him a GIRLFRIEND!!!... (or a school bag will do too...) haha...

As we step into the University of Life,

2006-10-17T19:46:00.000+08:00

People change so much over time.

Values are chucked out along with our school uniforms.

Men emerge from NS as people I don't really recognise anymore.

Students leave the country to soak up a culture of havoc.

I am in shock.

I am appalled.

I am speechless.

Have we really lost all our innocence?

Must we really change ourselves to fit into the mould of this dim, dark world?

What's happened to my cheerful & carefree schoolmate from the class next door?

2006-10-10T01:34:00.000+08:00

啰嗦
told u not totally your fault already

i am juz irritable cos i'm super stressed out now.

and various of other reasons.

So dont worry about it.

in any case, we're dating arent we..

and we are facebook buddies.

we should learn to forgive n forget

cos... thats how we maintain our 'practically married' relationship. :D

Hiatus

2006-10-09T05:19:00.000+08:00

Ignore me.

I'm getting upset over nothing.

And KS, I'm sorry.

UNHEALTHY

2006-10-07T23:54:00.000+08:00

PSI 150......

horrible weather

2006-10-07T15:00:00.000+08:00

gesh, cherish your weather... be it freezing or humid or warm or wateva... as long as it's not hazy and filled with smoke smell.

The weather in Singapore is great ... warm and sunny. Perfect for lazing around and exercising. BUT... the smoke spoils it all. It's so hazy that even the opposite block doesn't look clear to me at all. And it's so smelly!! Twice after our mid term exams, the moment I walked out of the MPSH.. I can smell the smoke smell loh. It's as though someone is burning something somewhere...

YUCKS!

My lungs are gonna spoil soon.

I heard Malaysia is even worst! Even more hazy!! I wonder how they survive.

Anyway, remember around 1997, the index went over to 200 rite? Seriously, I don't remember it being so smelly leh! Now it's only around 80?? Not too sure. Had been so caught up with work that I havent had the time to watch/read news.

Damn.

I hope it rains everyday until the haze clears off.

The other 2 F4 who are overseas now... Enjoy ur weather there k? You're lucky you dun have to take in polluted air!

First delivery

2006-09-26T21:13:00.000+08:00

I saw my first EVER delivery today!
The baby was sooooo tiny!!!!
AH~ I'm well excited.

Magic Show Part II

2006-09-24T17:55:00.000+08:00

As promised, Magic Show Part II is finally in town. To get the complete version of Magic for all of us, please contact Mr. Jedi Tan!

Yes! He's the magician of the day!

Anyway, here's how the whole thing goes. There wasn't much publicity or stuff on the magic show. Not the kind of publicity you get when Quiddam comes to Singapore. The first hint of publicity I got was from the magician himself.

One fine day, he just tell me that he's going to set up a magic stall. So thinking that he's mad, like he always is (when he tells me that he knows spells and can kill me without touching me... and then he ask me to eat pencil first...), I thought he was kidding. So I paid no attention to it.

Then during MLE lecture, wj sorta told me about his magic stall again.. and I thought HUH?! he's serious?!?!

Well, after all,.... it's ENGINE day... to be held at ENGINE faculty.... where most people are probably more concerned with "how do i solve this equation?.. oh, maybe I shld use #@#!@# law instead of $$%%$%# theory.."

Oh btw, I didn't buy Magic for all of us. HAHAH...

Anyway, i got the magician to show me some magic tricks. HE refused to show me card tricks loh!!! He keep asking me for a book or magazine when i only have papers with me. So out of desperation, he took his own book and performed a trick.

Hmm, first he asked JJ to choose a page and hold it there. Don't let him see it! Den he got the book from JJ and close the book (without looking at the pages). After patting it for a while, he will flip to the page where you have chosen.

Viola! Our VERY OWN MAGICIAN!!!!!

ps: JJ claims that the magician had marked the pages of the book by putting his finger there. Just that it wasn't obvious from my angle.

THE MAGIC SHOW

2006-09-22T10:50:00.000+08:00

I'm going for a magic show later. For those who don't know anything about THIS particular magic show, haha...

Let me give you a clue.

He's a magician whom 78 is very familiar with. Yeah... and he's setting up a stall during Engine day (which is today) to promote MAGIC.

haha...

I'll do a detailed review of his magic after today! Stay tune!!!

Love from the UK to Canada

2006-09-12T10:00:00.000+08:00

Just a wee bit disappointed that 4 posts on, I find that I'm still the only one writing on this blog and nobody has left a tag yet. Maybe nobody can be bothered no more. Oh well.

Anyway, I start my first rotation for the year in Obs and gynae! Which should be fun... and hopefully I'll get to deliver a baby scouser or 2.

Will write again soon... when I'm done with my project!

Love.

Because arguments get heated

2006-09-02T21:34:00.000+08:00

Trouble is brewing at:

We discovered a leakage from the washing machine today. It left puddles of filthy water on the kitchen floor and is not nice at all. One of my housemates promptly rang the landlord up to sort that out, only to get into a horrible shout-fest over the phone. The landlord wanted us to undo the "U" pipe under the sink to drain out whatever gunk was stuck there (which could possibly be the reason for the leak)... but my housemate curtly told him that we weren't paying him rent so that we could do plumbing work for him. Emotions ran wild and I could literally hear the landlord calling him an "arsehole" over the phone. The conversation was rude and horrible. Both sides weren't planning to give in, and all that name-calling wasn't helping either. Then came the landlord's ultimatum: "either you do what I tell you to (which was actually not that unreasonable), or you move out within a month." HE WASN'T GONNA RENT THE PLACE OUT TO US ANYMORE! Luckily another one of my housemates took over on the phone and resolved the issue with a much calmer approach... or we'll be screwed. It's been barely 6 days since I moved in and all this is happening! I wonder what else could go wrong in the house... hopefully we won't get thrown out!

p.s. I cooked dinner for us this evening... which I'd proudly say was actually pretty decent. But all this that happened prior to dinner literally took our appetites away, so nobody ate much in the end. What a shame! :(

Thank you!

2006-09-01T00:36:00.000+08:00

Firstly, a BIG THANK YOU to all those who came a few Saturdays ago.

I know that most of you have very busy schedules... so I am extremely grateful for all the effort that you made to come down and celebrate my birthday with me! 当日如有任何招待不周的地方，敬请见谅！I've never organised a birthday party like that before, but I sure had a blast that evening! I hope you did too. (:

Well, it's back to the ol' pool for me again. I've finally (almost) unpacked all my stuff and can stop living out of boxes. The new room's really PURPLE... but nice, comfy, and big enough I guess. My only complaint? Not enough storage space.

Oh by the way, the new address is:

25 Dudley (Harry Potter's cousin!) Road

Liverpool

L18 1ES

So, life's gone back to normal for me: work, sleep, eat, work, sleep, eat... (and I've finally regained the 闲情逸致 to blog again!) *sigh* It's been pretty tough these few days just trying to get my "engine" for studies started again. I miss lazing around in sunny Singapore so much. I miss our little island and its iridescent beauty, the warm weather, its unique people, my crazy friends, my family. 游子的情感交集，有谁能解？

To be honest, I'm not really feeling home sick as I'm typing this post. 只是，夜已深了。突然之间心里的感触良多，脑子里有无数的画面就在刹那间一涌而出。播音机里传出的旋律尽是带有浓浓思念与伤感的旋律：

你不在（王力宏）

当世界只剩下这床头灯　你那边是早晨已经出门

我侧身感到你在转身无数陌生人正在等下一个绿灯

一再错身彼此微弱的十分不过渴望一个吻的余温

我关了灯黑暗把我并吞

你不在当我最需要爱你却不在

无尽等待像独白的难捱

你不在高兴还是悲哀你都不在

我受了伤再偷偷好起来但你不在

不在

时间再按下许多次快门沉默里听见转动的秒针

一个人吃饭这个凌晨孤单一人份你低声说你有别人

我的话筒只有自己的体温怎样认真也不一定成真

你说得对我不得不承认

你不在当我最需要爱你却不在

无尽等待像独白的难捱

你不在高兴还是悲哀你都不在

我受了伤再偷偷好起来但你不在

那些摇摆我都明白都明白

但你不在　爱已不在　不在

你不在当我最需要爱你却不在

一个人分饰两角的恋爱

你不在高兴还是悲哀你都不在

像空气般不存在的存在

再没有痕迹的爱你不在

当我需要你的爱你不在

Ok, I guess that's just about enough blogging for the day. Hopefully the other F3 will blog sometime soon! Miss you all!

Love.

Another...

2006-08-14T00:15:00.000+08:00

"If five thousands dogs attack you the only one who can save you is rawfodog! Pray sincerely and you'll be saved."

It's not that difficult to make a guess. That person also sent some of us this sms..

"Do you believe in demons in this world? I just saw one just now..."

I'm so so so so so sad that my darling England footballers got knocked out of football's greatest game after such a fine competition last Saturday evening. They put up such a great fight- holding out their opponents so well after 120 minutes of game without their best players. And still, they lost. Let's observe a moment of silence as we grieve their defeat today.

My friend and I had specially taken some time off revision to watch the game. Seated in front of the TV, we screamed ourselves hoarse. We shrieked and yelped and cheered like there was no tomorrow. We wanted to see our team win.

But one man had to get himself into this (for stamping on someone else's groin!!):

And then do this:

What an idiot. Oh well. And I was so so so sad when David Beckham injured himself so badly he had to be subsituted.

England was so different once the beholder of their spirit left the pitch. And you know what, my heart really went out to this fine gentleman when I saw this on tv:

One of the girls in the house who was also watching the game with me and my friend said that David Beckham was just being wussy for crying. But you know what? I think a man who isn't afraid to show his vulnerable side is a REAL man. A man who dares to shed tears in front of THE WHOLE WORLD is a man who's confident enough of his own masculinity. My heart went out to him that day you know... and that was when I REALLY wanted England to win.

The game got to a point when it was actually painful to watch. The surges and dips in emotion were just way beyond what we could handle. We couldn't bring ourselves to keep watching, but we couldn't bring ourselves to stop either. In the end, we still lost.

How sad.

And I know I sound like a sore loser for saying this, but I blame 2 men for the result. The first being this shitty biased ARGENTINIAN referee (you know why I say he's biased):

And the next being this arrogant shit of an underhanded sporstmanship-less player:

Ugh.

And I'm so sad that my dearest David actually came back to announce his resignation from captain-ship!

Sigh. Football.

I had manicure and pedicure some time ago. Cos my sister bought some package and it happens that she cant finish the package in time. Since June was the last month and she had to finish up her package, she treated me to some sinful stuff = manicure n pedicure. I had BROWN nails for my legs. JJ said it looks like cockroach colour... ...... well, no harm trying rite? Anyway, my parents were SHOCKEd with my brown nails. My mum was like (in chinese) "AIYOH why your nails so black?!" and my dad was like " ek, what happen to your nails..." alright.. but i still like it. Wahaha....

my unsuccessful french manicure. French manicure looks the nicest when it's longer. Mine was too short but I didn't know what colour to paint them. I've tried pinks before.. doesn't suit me. so jus do french manicure loh.

On a side note, nice rite? some of Singapore richest area... I happen to take these shots while in a lift...

As you can see, I'm super bored... and it's not even 1am!.... 4 more min to 1 am

senseless

2006-06-27T15:40:00.000+08:00

Granny is in hospital now. Doctor says, bacteria / germ (i duno which one) had entered her blood stream, that is why she's having fever every now and then. Some of her organs also failed. I went to visit her at TTSH yesterday afternoon, right after my morning tuition. She looked lethargic but my dad claimed that the day before, she was even more lethargic. She could barely open her eyes and talk.

Whenever Granny gets hospitalised, the issue of religion pops up. It's not an exception this time round. In fact, while I was there, the topic came up again. Well, this time... religion is a hot topic cos.. apparently the doctor told us to be prepared. Things don't look good this time round, and it's all up to her and the medicine they gave to help her combat the evil substance in her.

Anyway, from my pt of view, she had prepared all her life to have a buddhist funeral. But when she became sensile, some people claimed that she wanted to be a Christians and subsequently had her baptised. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether she wants to be a buddhist or a christians. What really matters is, what does she want. However, sometimes I feel like even some of her own children don't let her choose what she wants.

I saw tears in her eyes when they were talking abt the religion thing. She might be sensile, but she's not dumb. It's obvious she doesn't want to offend ppl. What makes me mad is... why are those ppl forcing the religion onto her when it's clearly not her choice.

Religion is alwayz a sensitive issue. Even if u truly believe in ur religion and that no other religion is true, jus keep it to yourself. Because (1) other ppl should be given the freedom to choose their own path. (2) what you believe might not even exist at all. You believe in what you believe. But others might not believe in what you believe. There's no happiness in forcing other to believe what you believe.

What makes me mad is that they keep claiming that she doesnt believe in the other religion and would often rebuke others (who are supportive of the other religion) that they do not love her as they love her.

RUBBISH.

If the others don't love her as much as they love her, then they wouldn't even bothered to argue their way. Plus, who would want to choose an alternation that would probably waste more money. If they really dun love her, they would jus settle for the cheapest alternative and not waste time n effort to argue their way.

Adults. No matter how old they are, sometimes... some of them really have no brain or common sense of their own.

And I'm sad to say, this made me lose lots of respect for them.

Miss Tan will be having a 21st birthday party.

Venue and time to be confirmed.

Exchange

2006-06-18T23:33:00.000+08:00

Anyway, I'm not going for exchange next semester. It seems that they dun offered the courses I want during Fall. Only in Winter.

It's some kind of misunderstanding. I search for the modules under Course Catalog for Fall 2006. They had it there. But under Course registration, these courses are not offered. Damnit.

But anyway, doesn't really matter. I can now use those money to invest, travel, keep, spend, or do wateva I want. But I'm VERY tempted to invest some and hopefully bring in more money. hm, I think I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe I shld do some reading up and study abt investment first before I do anything silly.

Happy Birthday to Us!!!!!!!!

2006-06-18T22:45:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday Jingz!!!

I didn't know / forgot that Jingz is in Korea now.. but anyway, let me blog abit abt my growing old day!

Like I've blogged earlier on, my family had already celebrated my bday before my sis flew off. So there wasn't any elaborate celebration from my family members. Presents were given way before hand. Got my Canon camera from my da jie, probably some allowances from my dad, and hopefully some more Birks from Germany.

Anyway, I went out with JJ yesterday to mark my 21st birthday. The feeling is jus so weird when u know that u're supposed to b an adult. It's like, one day before... subconsciously u know u're not yet legal to watch R21 show. Then the next day u're legal. U're no longer restricted to most of the stuff bcos u're not 21. It's a weird feeling.

Overall, I was quite happy yesterday! Cos I got many many many pleasant surprises, including one from UK. Haha.

THANK YOU JACINTH!!!

I watched my very first World Cup match with a whole crowd of English football fanatics today.
What an experience! The bar was literally bursting at the seams with people- all of whom were staring intently at the huge projector screen plastered on the wall. As we watched the 22 men of interest chasing after that funky world cup ball, chants of "ENG-LAND, ENG-LAND, ENG-LAND" filled the air. Throughout the game, there was no end to the victory shouts, cries of frustrations, songs of support and claps of satisfaction... Ah, the atmosphere. Magical.

Amazing save.

It's interesting to note how the English are so harsh on their own players too. "****! What the hell is he doing?!" or "He's the worst player in the world!" quickly greeted one missed goal after another. There was no mercy amongst the fans. Either you deliver, or you're crap.

Nevertheless, the game was so so so boring for the first 80 minutes or so. The players were so lethargic and there wasn't really anything exciting going on on the pitch (To me, exciting= any fouls, penalties, goals, fights). I yawned. And at that very moment, Peter Crouch delivered. He headed in the first beautiful goal that David Beckham set up for him.

The crowd in the bar went ecstatic. All my male friends who had been cursing and swearing at the poor performance earlier literally lept up in euphoria. They danced and hugged and shouted "England! England!" I couldn't help but jump about on the spot with excitement too.

8 minutes later,

Liverpool's wonderman Steven Gerrad performed his magic again.

England has won.

Although I don't really understand much about football, I love the World Cup. It's the way it unifies the nation that I find intriguing. And you know what, nobody's complaining about having men like that prancing about on the tv screen either:

I (still) heart David Beckham!

hey dudes!

hm, sorry... have been rather busy these few days. Been working my ass off, selling toys. Ah, tell you.. it's not an easy job. Stand till my legs crack. But the good thing is.. you can try all the toys ard the shop. HAHA, well.... you have to try them in order to be able to tell customers abt those toys rite? So, I've gotten myself a yoyo FREE OF CHARGE! whee! But I cant play the yoyo for nuts. I only learn two tricks so far, and it's not very good either.

Apparently there's this remote control plane ... going for $39.90 .. You can bend the plane and it wun break. Some customers told me, the first generation can fly up till 20 storeys high!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! It's true leh!! It's like some customers walk past, then they stop and look. Then they will say.."OH yeah, I got this at home. It's really cool... can fly really high.. can go up to even 20 storeys high.." damn cool rite?

Enough of toys.

Jacinth>> How are you now? You sms to say you are sick, then when we sms back... YOU NEVER REPLIED. But nvm...

2006-05-28T07:31:00.000+08:00

And so I thought that F3 would write something here to entertain the rest of the world while they have the time of their lives celebrating post-exam high. Most unfortunately, they have let me- the odd F1 out, and YOU, the reader down. So I guess you'll have to make do with listening to me rant on about how I've been sniffing and coughing and feeling tired these past few days... attack of the flu bug! I hate being ill. Especially when I'm overseas and I haven't got mummy-dearest to sulk to and elicit some sympathy from. I texted F3 the other day to wail about being ill... and only ONE lim jingwen was nice enough to tell me to take care, jiayou and don't tire myself out. One OTHER girl just kept saying that I'd get better if I acknowledged that she's Rainie Yang (?!) What kind of logic is that. And then the last of F3 told me to go see doctor, OR THINK OF BELFAST??! haha. Belfast would indeed be a happifying thought... but much as he is a medical student/doc-to-be, he still can't make me feel better. But that isn't the problem. Problem is, I can't find him to stare at la! hahaha. Jokes aside, I'm glad I've got good girlfriends to text home & complain about little things like that. I'm glad there's so much loving to go around F4. =)

Ok, it's probably high time I got back to my work. EXAMS are stressing me out. There's so much to do and my brain's so small and I'm so freakin' distracted by EVERY LITTLE THING.

Take care dudes and dudettes. Until F3 blogs again, I'd say I've done my part writing.

Love.

p.s. someone blog about the 78 outing can? why no story one?

decisions

2006-05-19T00:01:00.000+08:00

hm, havent blog for a long long time... well.. not as long as jing!!!

anyway, I'm gonna start work next tuesday, selling toys to little kids. My mission is to encourage evil thots into kids, ie to "persuade" their parents into giving in to their WANTS aka TOYS.

First step: Get them interested in toys first. This includes showing them all the newest toys in town and make them WANT it so badly that they will even dream of it in their slep.

Second step: Make them play!

Third step: Ask them if they want the toys. Ask them if they want to bring home the toys. Ah, this is probably no problem at all. Which kid can resist the temptations of toys? After this, ask them to ask their parents to buy.

Fourth step: There's 2 possibilities. One, parents pamper the kids alot and obey the kid's command. Two, parents say No, cannot buy toys anymore! If number two happens, my job is to sit back and enjoy the show~ haha.. The battle between the kids and their parents.

Sounds easy huh? Lets wait and see how!

Anyway it's not a high paying job. I think it's jus enough for me to survive only.

Oh yeah,I jus got a reply from Canada side for my SEP. It got approved. But it's now my decision whether I wanna go for SEP anot. My parents are fine with it, so it's totally up to me.

Damn! I dono whether to go anot.

If the mapping of modules goes well, the only reason that I wouldn't wanna go is cos I'll get really homesick. I'll start to miss everyone at home... and I'll start to miss the food over here. I'll start to miss my TV program. I'll start to miss going out at night. (I don't think it's safe to go out at night esp when overseas...)

I wanna go cos it's an experience in many ways, whether it's on studies or not. It's something you probably dun get to experience it everytime. Life living abroad. Not too long, not too short. About 4.5 months. wahaha.. and most importantly, you get to play with snow!!!

How How How?!!!!

Strangely, today turned out to be an unexpected "house-officer day" for me. EVERY SINGLE ONE of my house officers from the start of the year: old or new, surgical or medical, british or not... they all crossed my path this lovely day!

And the HIGH-est part of the day? When a familiar sounding voice called out "Jacinth?" when I was sat in a corner of the nurses' station solitarily, busy copying down a patient's medical notes. With a start, I looked up and saw THAT charming chiselled face of my FAVOURITE PRHO. Wheeeeeeeeeeeee~ I was ova-da-moon! It's been a while since I last met him, so it was absolutely amazing to realise that he still remembers me... and my name! lol.

AND! The even more unbelievable part? He introduced me to another one of his colleagues. Another dashing young man whom I've been "taking note of" for a while now.

好 high!

Okok, I think I'm beginning to sound like some 变态狂. I'll stop. Life's been unbelievably busy since the start of this term so I'm a bit stressed at the mo (and thus the excessive need for eye-candies to motivate me while I work). Other than that, nothing much to report except that THE SUN IS FINALLY OUT. =)

Beauty blooms following the cold, harsh winter. This is the view from my window. PINKNESS!

Love.

Post Exams

2006-05-04T17:02:00.000+08:00

yeah! The F3 have completed their exams, including the super slow KS! And we're all waiting for Jacinth to return home! double Whee!!

Anyway, it's 2 more days to election day!! Exciting??

hmm, not really. At least not for me. cos...
(1) I cant vote
(2) Even if I can vote, there's nothing to vote for since it's a walkover.
(3) I'm not really into politics, unlike our wulinmengzhu.
(4) .......

So, it's nothing exciting for me.

Instead of election day for most ppl, 6th May is my band day!!!

YES... HCJC BAND day.

freak.

I wasn't even into band last time, at least not in HC band. haha... 78 guys and gals shld know me well. After school, all of us with CCA would jus sit there and stone and NOT wanting to be the first few to reach the CCA room. EVen when we have nothing to do before that. Then we'll jus talk rubbish and wait till it's almost 3:30pm then walk slowly to the CCA room, shaking our butt along the way. For those who dono, CCA starts at 3pm.

And yes, I used to dread CCA. Which makes me wonder why I even promise to go back to play in the first place. The band can survive well w/o me. OR maybe BETTER without me! hahah

ah shucks. Since I'm going back, might as well be A LITTLE more enthu rite? ok fine. Today I shall go master all my beansprouts notes and sharp flat until it's erm... slightly .... nicer and pleasing to the ear. This might mean, playing the first and last notes of those beansprouts wakaka.

Actually... you know wat? I suspect my band conductor dun even know me..
But then again, I think he does. HAHA... cos when I enter the band room... he gave a really shock face. haha.. some of my juniors and batch mates got a shock too. gosh.

even the slacker comes back.

well, I'm surprised I went back.

突然想 blog in 中文

2006-04-30T08:02:00.000+08:00

OK, 对不起。我怀疑我之前的rantings in fury 引起了一些小小的误会。说实在的，我不是在批评七八的男生（都被伟健训练得不错了！哈哈，虽然还可以进步）。那都是出自于好心的忠告！

Here's the story (and thus the context of that post): 我之前与一般男生一同到了朋友的家（利物浦外）去拜访。在赶火车回家的时候竟然被他们丢弃在后！他们连停顿半刻来等我都没有！一meet 到我就直接往前冲！逼得我非得拼命地在后面追！喂！本小姐当天穿着高根的凉鞋吔！叫我怎么跑？！！

因此，我们到达了火车站后，我根本就已经气昏了头！好不容易压抑着想打人的冲动后，才冷漠地说了一句：“你们很没有绅士风度。”通常啊，我是不会因为男生做出这种大便事而生气的你知道吗（因为习以为常嘛）。可是这两个男生平时总爱夸耀自己说自己是天下最体贴的好男人！听的人都信以为真，所以我才越想越气！Rrrrrr.　回到家后又没有倾诉的对象，所以才写了一大堆让人误会的话。请见谅！

好，澄清了这些以后我心里也舒服多了。

再来，我有事要宣布！我在来临的七月十九日中午将抵达咱们可爱的新加坡障仪机场！好期待再度与各位俊男美女再次的相会！大家开始跟我一起倒数吧！零二S七八的F四要团圆了！

多么的希望你们都还在我身边，有时候真的还蛮想念我们在一起时做的蠢事。

考试都还顺利吧？我过几天就要开学了，然后就轮到我废寝忘食地啃书了。

林静蚊，你也在这里写写一两个字嘛。这么久没跟你联络了，都不知道我这个第三名是死是活。

<3 F4!

shen shi hood

2006-04-30T01:29:00.000+08:00

hm, I dun think Ja is saying that 78 guys are not shen shi.

wateva it is, actually.. 78 guys are quite shen shi. (pardon me if i use the word wrongly,... my chinese isnt fantastic) Although most are like on-off shen shi. But trust me, they're quite good compared to some uni guys we see over here.

haha...

As to wat Romeo said, hm... it's true not ALL girls look for 100% shen shi. But you cant be 100% NOT shen shi. I'll be quite disgusted if that "shenshi" is some xiao qi gui who is totally insensitive and not shen shi-ly at all.

hahah well, it doesnt hurt to be a shen shi rite?

Chinese New Year?

2006-04-23T14:02:00.000+08:00

I had this funny dream last night.

I dreamt that it was Chinese New Year. Then there were lots of goodies... all the biscuits, rolls, bak gua, sweets, crackers, pineapple tarts.. together with all the festive decorations. And I was at someone's house. The furniture inside the house were those ancient China kind.. those with really hard and solid wood with polished dark brown surface. Quite pretty in fact.

Just when I was about to eat some of those crackers, I woke up. damn! Why dun it let me eat first then wake up?! Anyway, I think I was too hungry then, cos it was 9pm and I didn't had my dinner yet.

But then, haha that dream was enough to make me HAPPY!! haha Anything that is not exams, books, studies... is enough to make me a little bit high! haha.. aw.. that sounds quite sad.

urgh

nevermind

6.5 more days and my terror is over! wakaka!!!

the much awaited blog update

2006-04-18T08:30:00.000+08:00

well well well.

It's been awhile hasn't it?

The Easter holidays have begun for me and I've been busy catching up on sleep, vcd marathoning, shopping, and doing all those random household chores that have most patiently awaited to be done. Life's been kinda boring to be honest (though I'm loving every single minute of this new-found freedom), thus the lack of blogs. And I hate it when I seem to be the only person posting so I try and abstain until somebody else puts something up. Besides, so many people come and go without leaving a trace, which is annoying cos what's the tag board for if you decide to be a stealthy little rat? hahaha. Pardon me, that wasn't meant to be mean. Just imagine me saying it with a nice tinge of sarcasm added to a dash of cheekiness... well, you get the point.

So, I've been living in a house with 2 of my future housemates for the past 2 weeks and it's been quite a new experience I must say. It's never easy to live with friends I guess... you kinda need to learn (quickly!) how to give and take and tolerate all the nonsense that gets thrown your way. Things like having the toilet seat left up, having loud rock music blasting through the entire house, dishes left unwashed and piling up to the ceiling... so many times I needed to remind myself that there are certainly some of my idiosyncrasies that drive those guys mad too. And then again, it's so nice to have friends to tease and talk to, to collapse on the floor in fits of laughter together, and to cook and clean and just to enjoy each other's company. This whole living together business is such a complex one... and so it flummoxes me as to why this difficulty never seemed apparent to me in a family setting. Which probably goes to show how special the familial relationship is, don't you think? Family. *sigh* how I do miss it. To be honest, I usually try and keep 'homesickness' at the back of my mind so it doesn't usually affect me much. It's just that I've been having a string of dreams about mum and dad and gor that's got me all thoughtful and 'melancholic' (actually, not really la. But the word 'melancholy' makes me sound like a super sensitive Romeo ma... which seems quite the apt way to end this weird paragraph. hahaha).

Anyway, on to lighter topics. SPRING is officially the season of the month (and the next few to come!) And with that comes sunlight, which leads to slight warmth (think 7 degrees C... not very warm hor?), which results in many a craving for ice-cream! yum! It's been a while since I last had ice-cream so I was thrilled thrilled thrilled. *slurps* Ben&Jerry's is expensive though, I only had it cos of an after-project high (remember the report that I told you all about?) and I doubt I'll be having it in a while. lol. Wow. I didn't know I was capable of writing such a long essay just about ice-cream. My BSing skills have improved tremendously, no? hahaha.

Right, what else can I write about just to lengthen this post so as to reward all our faithful 'blogders' (erhem, according to a certain xiaxue?) who have been checking this site daily... mm... Oh, you know what. My 有眼不视泰山 the friends actually said that Lee Hom is NOT cute. And accused me of having bad taste! Wahlau! 让老娘七窍生烟，双眸发火，紧握拳头 (pardon the 假成语, my Chinese not as 强 as the 武林盟主, still can write long letter to 李敖. I think I'll need to go home and read 武侠小说 + 写文章 everyday to reach that kind of standard). mm... as you can see my writing has made a full swing to singlish and I think that's great. I didn't know that I could 换来换去 so easy. hahaha. OK, I'm sorry this entry's really random and FOC. As I've said before, there really isn't much to update about so I hope this hasn't bored you to death.

Until next time when F3 blogs and everyone tags, ciao guys and girls.

With all my love.

p.s. wondering if there'll be a chalet this year?

wah lau i really am gonna murder the prc in front of me!!! ARGHHH

u noe wat?

Ok lets start from the beginning. In the morning, i came super early to chope seats. So i got one of the prime tables in the lib to mug. Then this idiot prc lady came late. She asked if she could sit opp me. I graciously agreed. Each table could seat 4, so I put my bag on the chair beside me, and she put her bag on the chair beside her. Usually we only have 2 to a desk cos it's too messy for 4. Too many books.

Then u noe wat happen? 2 hours passed. I took out my ipod to listen. So I was kinda shut off from the rest of the lib. Then suddenly got this guy, he came to ask the prc if he could take the chair beside her as he lacks a chair. Then of cos he cant ask me cos i couldnt hear. With my ear phones plugged in.

Then u noe wat the idiot prc did? She pointed to MY CHAIR and asked him to TAKE MY CHAIR! Like.. HELLO u put ur bag on ur chair and i put my bag on my chair and since u cant remove ur GOLD-PLATED BAG i must remove mine!???? OMG!! i really felt like slapping her. But anyway nvm. I took my bag and let the guy have the chair. And like.. HELLO i got that table first now I gotta listen to THAT IDIOT!! OMG! Anyway, later, she asked me,"hey if u wan u can put ur bag on my chair."

SLAP HER AH! So wat! If i wan take anything from my bag i gotta climb over or under the table just to get to her side to get my bag?!? IDIOT! KNS!!!!

THen walau eh i really am going crazy.. driven crazy by all these weirdos in lib.

Just now, got this AH NEH blasting aimeimei-music from his lappie in the lib!! OMG!!!!!! ARGHHH going crazy!

pissed off

i didn't sleep all night last night just so that I can complete my 3000 word structured review that's meant to be due in today. Dragged my lifeless body all the way into uni to get it printed, only to realise that ALL the bloody colour printers are broken. Wahlaueh. How suay can i get?! Now I'm at some disgusting place called the computing services centre trying to get this sorted but the woman's attitude is so damn bad!!! I feel like killing somebody now. RRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
